It does take time for Little One's bladder to heal from the bladder stones, so yes you can still see some blood in her urine. She can bleed on and off after bladder surgery, but I would still monitor her. If the bleeding gets worse or she starts having difficulty urinating, I would contact your vet immediately. I hope she feels better soon!

It's likely that you'll see blood for a while, based on the fact that she likely has a urinary tract infection (the reason for the Baytril) and that urinary stones are irritating to the bladder wall and can cause bleeding. In addition, catheterization can cause some trauma, so I'm not surprised that you're seeing a little blood. Assuming everything else is normal, and the blood starts to diminish over the next day or two, I think yes, this is to be expected, but do watch her closely for signs that she's getting blocked again.
